Kayaking classes for 2010
Well it is that time of the year as the flowers has started to bloom. As most of you know teaching kayaking has always brought joy to me. Something about sharing your knowledge of this great sport and taking someone down the river for the first time is amazing. There are some new things for 2010. With ambitions comes legwork to get things accomplished. Many people ask me what kind of clinics I teach. Well, I teach all of them including: freestyle, beginner, intermediate, advanced, creeking, slalom, group and kids clinics. The rates change based on how many people and which type of class you are interested in. For freestyle I have the option to teach playboating clinics on the Ocoee River through Ace Ocoee Funyaks. This gives us the permit to be there without any problems and an abundant amount of different features to learn on. For beginner clinics they will be taught on the Locust Fork or Mulberry Fork of the Warrior River. These are great beginner rivers and offer a variety of different features to learn on. They have large pools, great eddy lines and warm water in the winter. If the water here is too low then we will go down to the Coosa River. With group classes there are great rates to save you money and get that one extra person in the class that wants to learn.
In addition I am getting instruction boats from Jackson Kayaks enabling me to teach these classes as well and have the opportunity to teach kids classes. This is going to be great for Hydrenaline Rush Kayaking School. Having boats for kids and having the boats for people to try will only give you the opportunity to test paddle before you buy. Make sure to forward this one to anyone you know that would be interested in kayaking classes or helping with the kid’s kayaking classes. Thanks for reading and I hope to see yon the river soon.

Weekday Rolling Classes are available for 50 dollars per three hours of teaching time.
